DOMENICO da SAN GEMIGNANO. - Canonist. The year of his birth is unknown; the year of his death, which occurred in Bologna, is prior to 1436.
He was a student of Antonio de Butrio and perhaps also of Pietro da Ancarano. As general vicar of Modena, he attended the Council of Pisa in 1409; he then taught for a long time in Bologna and finally became auditor of the Apostolic Chamber. He wrote notable commentaries on the Decretum, the Collection of Gregory IX, and the Liber Sextus.
